[at-l] Scanning Question

[jbkramer@afn.org (Bryan Kramer)]

If you are using Photoshop or some chone of it then you can set the
color level yourself. Set it at 8 bit color which should be more than
enough. That will help shrink your files. Stitching files together in PS
isn't all that hard with layers.
